The wisdom is against the sky: people in Daqin, the maid Shao Siming

So, Ying Chen wants to catch the big fish, the biggest fish!

After hearing Ying Chen's explanation, Nangong Pushe loosened his grip on the two swords and said, "He is lucky."

At this time, Nuying looked at Zhao Xuansu who was pretending to drown and unconscious, and couldn't help but smile.

Then, he deliberately said loudly, "Sir, look, there is a child over there who was clearly shouting for help just now, but now he has fallen asleep!"

Ying Chen looked at the naughty Nuying and reached out his hand to lightly touch her forehead.

Then he cooperated in a rare move and joked loudly, "It seems like being young is great. You can fall asleep as soon as you lie down."

In an instant, the sisters Ehuang and Nvying burst into laughter as sweet as silver bells.

Even Nangong Pushe couldn't help but smile when hearing Ying Chen's teasing.

While chatting and laughing, the four of them had already passed Zhao Xuansu who was pretending to be unconscious and continued to move towards Fufeng.

After a while.

Looking at Ying Chen's back as he left without hesitation, and confirming that he really had no intention of saving him, Zhao Xuansu tried hard to control his expression, but he still couldn't help but his face turned pale.

"Asshole, asshole!!!"

"What's so good about being young? You fell asleep right away. Didn't you see that I was drowning and unconscious?"

"Are they human beings? They saw an innocent child fall into the water and they didn't even try to rescue him?!"

Zhao Xuansu stood on the water, not looking at all embarrassed.

He looked angrily at Ying Chen and the other three who had disappeared, and slapped the person beside him.

boom!

There was a loud explosion, splashing water all over the sky.

"I am so angry that I wanted to sneak into their ranks and launch a surprise attack."

"But I didn't expect that the third son of the Great Qin Empire would be so cold-blooded and not help."

"Then it seems that we can only contact that eunuch and ambush Ying Chen on the road he must pass."

After saying that, Zhao Xuansu disappeared from the spot at an extremely fast speed.

.........

......

...

Zhao Xuansu was just an episode, and Ying Chen quickly forgot about him.

I don’t know how long I walked.

Ying Chen suddenly heard someone shouting again, but it was not for help, but for directing something.

"Hurry up, hurry up, try to reinforce the dam and delay the breach!"

"Fellow villagers, please work harder. Our homeland is behind the Wei River. Our young children and our elderly mother are there. We must not let the Wei River burst its banks now!"

Look in the direction of the shouting.

Ying Chen discovered that on a high slope not far ahead, there were an old man and a middle-aged Confucian scholar wearing the official uniform of the Qin Dynasty standing there.

Regardless of the heavy rain, they directed and shouted encouraging words to hundreds of farmers who were wearing coarse linen trousers, with bare upper bodies, and whose backs were bent by the weight of bamboo baskets.

"Sir, are these people of Daqin rushing to repair the dam?"

Ying Chen looked at the hundreds of farmers working in the heavy rain. They carried baskets of stones and soil from afar and dumped them on the embankment of the Wei River in front of them, and nodded.

"It has rained heavily for three consecutive days and the water level of the Wei River has risen, so they must be repairing the dam in the rain."

At this time, the farmers were running back and forth, carrying baskets of heavy sand and soil that made them unable to straighten their backs.

But from beginning to end, no one stopped to rest, which made Ying Chen unable to tell for a moment whether the water droplets rolling down their bodies were rain or sweat.

Ehuang, Nuying and Nangong Pushe looked at the busy crowd and the dam that was somewhat deformed by the impact of the huge waves, with a hint of worry and pity in their eyes.

"Sir, should we help them?"

"The dam seems to be very close to breaking. If it really breaks, hundreds of farmers will definitely be buried under the raging flood waves."

Ying Chen didn't wait for an answer.

At this time, the village chief and the county magistrate, who were directing everyone in the distance, also saw Ying Chen and his group, with surprise and confusion in their eyes.

After all, Ying Chen and the other three did not hold umbrellas, but they did not get wet in the heavy rain. The rain could not get within three feet of them, which was very strange.

Even the horse he was riding had beautiful fur and was not covered in mud.

The river water, which could clearly cover the horses' legs, seemed to be cut in half by an invisible blade, leaving a path for the horses to move forward.

"I don't know where you are from, sir. The banks of the Wei River are very dangerous right now. The dam in front of us is in danger of bursting at any time!"

"I think you have some martial arts skills, and they are not weak. However, facing a natural disaster like the Wei River bursting its dike, human power is limited. If you don't want to get into trouble, you'd better leave as soon as possible."

Hearing the kind reminder from the county magistrate in front, Ying Chen dismounted from his horse.

"I'll go take a look. If you want to help, go ahead and do what you can."

After all, these people are all citizens of the Qin Dynasty.

It would be fine if he hadn’t seen it, but since he had seen it, Ying Chen naturally couldn’t remain indifferent.

Upon hearing Ying Chen's words, Ehuang, Nuying and Nangong Pushe dismounted immediately and followed the farmers towards the distant sand and rocks.

Because the three of them have martial arts skills, even if they are women, their strength is not comparable to that of these farmers.

Therefore, one of them is almost as effective as twenty or thirty people.

But even so, it seemed to be a drop in the bucket, and the dam in the distance was still crumbling.

At this time, Ying Chen had already arrived in front of the village chief and the county magistrate.

"I wonder who you are, sir?"

Looking at Ying Chen's gorgeous dark-black robes, the county magistrate and the village chief bowed respectfully and asked.

After all, in this era, ordinary people wore coarse linen clothes, and those who could wear such clothes must be rich or noble, and were definitely not people that the two of them could afford to offend.

"The third son of the Qin Empire, Lord Fufeng, Yingchen."

In an instant, the village chief and the county magistrate knelt down in front of Ying Chen.

"I am Wang Liu, a humble commoner. I am honored to meet His Royal Highness the Third Young Master."

"Li Huaiyuan, the county magistrate of Wei County, greets His Highness the Third Young Master."

Impersonating a prince of the Qin Empire is a capital crime, and seeing that Ying Chen's attire and demeanor were so extraordinary, the two of them had almost no doubts.

Ying Chen just waved his hand and helped the two of them up, "Get up."

Then, he asked curiously, "It has rained heavily for three consecutive days. The water level of the Wei River is bound to rise sharply. Why don't you retreat?"

"Can't you see that as long as the rain doesn't stop, everything we're doing now is just like a moth flying into a flame, and it won't be able to stop the mighty Wei River from bursting its banks?"

Hearing Ying Chen's question, Wang Liu and Li Huaiyuan couldn't help but look at each other, and then revealed a bitter smile.

"We...how could we not know?"

"Not only do I know, the village chief knows, and even everyone present knows what they are going to face, but..."

Having said that, Li Huaiyuan turned around and pointed to a small hill in the distance.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Ying Chen discovered that there seemed to be a village vaguely halfway up the hill.

And on that rugged mountain road, you can see many people dragging their families and moving towards the top of the mountain.

At this time, Li Huaiyuan continued: "But there are some elderly people with unsteady legs and some crying children. They are our family members."

"We cannot retreat until they have evacuated to a safe place."

"Besides, there must be other brothers up and down the river who are working hard to delay the Wei River from bursting its banks. We can't lose face in front of them."

"After all, there are countless people in the Qin Dynasty who don't know the situation of the Wei River in the distance."

"If we retreat, we may be able to survive, but the Wei River will burst its banks and flood the country for thousands of miles."

"By then, the number of deaths will not be just a few hundred, but could be thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands displaced."

"I can't bear it!"

After Li Huaiyuan finished speaking, Wang Liu spoke calmly: "With us here, we can delay the evacuation of those people for a little longer."

"If we can save a thousand more people, our death will be worthwhile."

"Sir, you are different from us. We are just a bunch of dead, but you are a descendant of a royal family."

"We, the old Qin people, are still waiting to fulfill our long-cherished wish of unifying the seven kingdoms, or even the whole world, under the command of the King of Qin and you, young master. Therefore, you must not get into trouble easily."

"You should leave as soon as possible before the Wei River bursts its banks."

"As long as you stay away from them, you should be safe with your unique ability just now."

Looking at the two people who were ready to die, Ying Chen couldn't help but ask, "Since you know, you are really not afraid of death, and those farmers are not afraid of death either?"

"The problem is there. If we don't do it, someone else will."

"Are you afraid of death?"

At this point, Li Huaiyuan turned to the civilians and shouted, "Brothers, are you afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid of death. If I was afraid of death, I would have run away long ago!"

"Haha, I'm just afraid that all our efforts were in vain and that we didn't allow more people to escape to a safe place. As for death? I'm not afraid!"

"My mother, wife and children are all there, and they are not safe yet. For their safety, I will die. I will lose my life anyway."

At this moment, Ying Chen was filled with awe.

The world is about to fall. Those who wish to save the world, please stand up!

Perhaps this group of people came from humble backgrounds, and what they did were not so earth-shaking.

However, what this group of old Qin people did made Ying Chen respect them from the bottom of his heart.

He looked at the men whose backs were bent by the bamboo baskets in the heavy rain, as well as Li Huaiyuan and Wang Liu who were giving them orders, with a determined look in his eyes.

"No matter what, the Wei River must not burst its banks today, and all these people must survive!"

"I also want you to live to see the great Qin Empire complete the great cause of unifying the seven kingdoms, and even the ideal of unifying the nine states."

Hearing this, Li Huaiyuan and Wang Liu stared at Ying Chen in amazement. Sadness flashed in their eyes as they listened to him talk about the ideals of countless Qin people, but they soon calmed down again.

"Jiujiu, Lao Qin, fought against the national calamity together, and Jiujiu, Lao Qin, restored our rivers and mountains."

"We will fight until the blood is shed dry!"

"To the west lies the Qin Empire, rising like the sun. A century of national hatred is hard to resolve!"

"How can we have peace and tranquility when the world is in turmoil?"

"Qin has sharp warriors, who can compete with them?"

The village chief Wang Liu couldn't help but sing a cappella, with reminiscence in his eyes.

"Once upon a time, I was also a soldier of the Qin Dynasty. It has been decades in a flash. Time flies."

But soon, his eyes were no longer confused, and only incomparable determination remained.

"If I have a choice, I, an old man, would naturally want to see that day come. After all, that is the prosperous age that countless Qin people dream of seeing!"

"But natural disasters are ruthless and beyond human control, so I'm afraid I won't see that day come."

"If you, sir, can see that day, and the people behind me can see that day, then we will have died a worthy death."

"Therefore, you should leave as soon as possible..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard someone shouting in panic in the distance.

"It's not good, Mr. County Magistrate, Mr. Village Chief."

"The water was so strong that the fallen rocks and soil were washed away before they could sink to the bottom."

"I'm afraid the dam...I'm afraid it won't hold up."

Hearing this, Li Huaiyuan and Wang Liu turned to look at the women and children who were still being evacuated on the mountain road in the distance.

Then, Li Huaiyuan took a step forward and snatched the bamboo basket from a farmer's hand.
